Speaker Ryan tells GOP colleagues: 'We must deliver'

Washington's new power trio consists of a bombastic billionaire, a telegenic policy wonk and a taciturn political tactician. "We're getting them out of our country; they're here illegally". "If Donald Trump objects to Paul Ryan then I'm confident that Paul Ryan would lack the votes to be speaker and we would have to consider different options".

Next year will be the first that the GOP will have unfettered White House and congressional control since 2006. We're focused on securing the border.

The Wisconsin congressman told CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that, "People should really just put their minds at ease".

Newt Gingrich: "There are going to be substantial deportations".

Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield was also expected to win another term as majority leader.

Trump campaigned on a vow to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

I look forward to working with all of you.

Hillary Clinton said she felt "pride and gratitude" for her campaign on Wednesday morning, hours after her shocking defeat at the hands of Donald Trump. Ryan said anyone committing racist acts are "not Republicans" and would not be supported by the GOP. "We are not Republicans first", Obama said.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is keeping his job in a chamber that Republicans will control by 52-48.

Environmental groups don't plan to make Trump's job any easier. "These are things we're working on".

All the air has left the Freedom Caucus' "oust Speaker Ryan" balloon, but that doesn't mean the maniacs have calmed down or that they won't still be ready to fight him at every turn.

"There is a lot of hysteria and hyperbole", Ryan said during an interview with his hometown radio station, 1380 BIG AM radio. "That's already in place at 10 percent above baseline spending on mass transit and highways". "We are not Republicans first", Obama said.

"If president-elect Trump is looking for a stimulus in energy he will find it in the solar and wind industries", Brune said. "Obama never had infrastructure in his stimulus", he said. Instead of continuing to drift, we unified and went on offense.

There are a handful of areas that Trump and Republicans seem genuinely in agreement on. "In our plan is allowing younger people up to the age of 26 to stay on their parents' plan". "That's where he expressed he's going to get the people who are criminals and have criminal records, gang members and drug dealers, either out of the country or he will see that they are incarcerated", Fischer said.

Trump highlighted the stalled Keystone project during a late October campaign swing through Florida, saying: "We're going to approve energy infrastructure projects like the Keystone pipeline and many more".

The Speaker dismissed questions about decisions being made by Trump's transition team, including the naming of Steve Bannon as chief strategist. "I trust Donald's judgment".

It's unclear whether the list is exhaustive or has been reviewed by Trump.

Moreover, Ryan's personal political future, including potential presidential ambitions of his own, may depend in part on how effectively he manages the relationship with Trump.

Ryan was also critical of Trump for his treatment of a Muslim Gold Star military family presented at the Democratic National Convention, and again after an Access Hollywood audiotape surfaced of Trump making vulgar comments about women from 2005. But they were almost silent on Bannon's appointment.
